Big pounder can for $4, a little out of my price range, heheh. Pour is very rootbeer-like and it has a very nice looking creamy off white head that stays. Slight nose of hazelnuts. First taste is better than that so called chocolate bomb I had yesterday from troegs, stupid chocolate elf. This is a bit smoother and more acceptable on the palate. It does have some filbert in there but its well balanced, not like other filbert beers I've done where the nuts are so artificial and in yer face. The chocolate in here is also well done, goes down smoothly as a porter should. Pleasing finish, to an extent. Not as good as Pittsburgh Brewing Block House Double Chocolate Bock,
Verhaeghe Duchesse Chocolate Cherry, Penn Brewery German Chocolate Cake Stout or even Rivertowne Mazy's Malted Milk Chocolate Stout; but hey, it is very acceptable and I like d it!

Smells harsh, but drinks nicely. The bock and the oak barrel pair nicely.

Eye is light brown orangish hint on hazy pale. Very slight cherry nose. First taste is mild cherry and a minimal tart impact, could use more. Palate is not wheat ale bitter as other ellicottville wheat fruit beers I've done and I'm thankful for that. Goes down fairly easy and the co2 level pretty good. In the middle I'm finding this decently balanced, just enough wheat ale bitterness to let you know it is a wheat ale, yet not enough forward to get in yer face. For overall taste, I must say the session is better than expected. Could drink another without much issue.
